Beaufort SC – Paperbird

Our next stop took us to Beaufort SC. We love Beaufort with it’s beautiful waterfront area. We encountered others who were in Beaufort for a “mini vacation” by car so we aren’t the only ones who appreciate the beauty of its southern charm and hospitality. We enjoyed wandering and looking at the beautiful gardens and architecture as well as the water front along the river.

One evening we went by dinghy around to Lady’s Island marina and walked the main street and had dinner at “The Fillin’ Station”. It’s not much to look at but the food was good!

We walked about a mile and a half out to visit a church on Sunday that was so very warm and friendly. Just about every one there spoke to us and invited us back when we come back through in the spring…..and we didn’t have to walk back to the anchorage either. A wonderful time of worship and fellowship.

Enjoying a cup of coffee just after sunrise.

I’m not sure how this white Egret stays so clean walking in the mud.

Friday night is steak night at “The Fillin Station” on Lady’s Island SC.

A beautiful back yard and driveway in Beaufort.

Most of these old homes still have beautiful gas lamps at the entrance to their property.

This one was used as a hospital during the Civil War….it’s now a private residence.

The old armory….built in 1956….is now a visitor center.

The building is dedicated to the youth who gave their lives for their country.

Parriss Island…..where Marines are trained….

Cormorants look like they are standing guard….watching in every direction….strong current going with us too….

Super moon rising…..it was like having a huge spot light on us all night!

Almost to the St Mary’s inlet….fishing boats are out working early!

Sunrise just as we pass the first buoy heading into the St Mary’s Inlet.

He quieted the sea with His power
